There is no need for a named pipe. Just read the file. You have to be a
bit cunning when it is re-cycled, but it's all been invented before. How
do you think Eximon works? (I know the code in Eximon is untidy - it was
hacked from Smailmon, which was a proof of concept hack in itself - but
it should show you how to do it.)
